Glyndwr’s revolt 1400-12
There were two main causes. Firstly, the overthrow of Richard II by Henry IV (Bolingbroke) in 1399. Richard had strong support in Wales. Secondly, Baron Grey de Ruthyn had seized some of Glyndwr’s land in Wales.
Glyndwr proclaimed Prince of Wales and raised banner of revolt on 16 September 1400.
Henry IV sent Henry Percy (“Hotspur”) into Wales to crush the revolt, which quickly spread across north and central Wales.
Welsh victorious at Myndd Hyddgen in South Wales in the summer of 1401.
Penal Laws against the Welsh introduced in 1402 by English Parliament. The Welsh were banned from senior public office and buying property in English towns. They were forbidden to bear arms and had no right of public assembly. The education of Welsh children was curtailed.
Welsh victorious at Bryn Glas (Pilleth) in Radnorshire in June 1402. Edmund Mortimer, Earl of March captured. Henry IV did not pay ransom as Mortimer had strong claim to the throne. Mortimer became ally of Glendwyr.
Baron Grey de Ruthyn also captured at this time but he was successfully ransomed after a year in captivity.
French and Bretons began to give help to the Welsh. By 1403 the whole of Wales was in revolt. Welsh soldiers deserted the English army and returned to Wales to fight.
He then negotiated the "Tripartite Indenture" with Edmund Mortimer and Henry Percy, which was intended to divide England and Wales between the three of them. However, Henry Percy was defeated and killed at the Battle of Shrewsbury in July.
In 1404 Glyndwr held court at Harlech and called a Parliament at Machynlleth. He was formally crowned Prince of Wales and proclaimed Wales to be an independent state.
A formal treaty with the French and Brittany followed in 1405 and a sizeable French force landed at Milford Haven. They marched through Wales and crossed the border into England. Finally they were confronted by an English near Worcester. However, after a stand-off lasting a week, the Franco-Welsh army was forced to withdraw because of lack of supplies.
The tide began to turn against Glyndwr in 1406. The French withdrew after they made a truce with the English. Glyndwr’s forces also suffered a number of defeats and English forces landed in Angelsey. A new strategy of economic blockade induced the Welsh lordships to surrender during the course of 1407. Eventually both Aberystwyth (1407) and Harlech (1409) castles surrendered. The revolt of the Percy's was finally ended when they were defeated at Bramham Moor in 1408.
Gyndwr remained free but was now not much more than a fugitive. He launched an abortive raid into Shropshire in 1410 and captured Dafydd Gam, a supporter of Henry IV, in 1412. But after that no more was heard of him.
Henry IV died in 1413 and his son, Henry V, adopted a more conciliatory attitude to the Welsh and eventually the major leaders of the revolt were pardoned.
